Presets & Partial Presets
Mela 7.9 update improved terminology by replacing Presets, Preset Groups, and the Preset Browser with Patches, Folders, and the Library. This freed up the term "preset" to be used to describe simply a set of parameter values for a patch or module. As a quick side note, module and patch are interchangeable. If you have one, you can convert it to another by copy/paste.
So a patch file could contain multiple presets. The way to think about it is that a patch is a description of a signal flow or nested module layout/arrangment + presets. I imagine there will be a default preset that will be loaded when a patch is imported or opened first, and then the user can select one of the included presets.
Additionally, we can introduce a **partial presets** concept. These will mutate the loaded preset by only changing specific parameters.
The feature request is based on the discussion on the Loopy Pro forums: a user suggested that the Matrix module be able to load classic FM algorithm shapes without affecting its submodules. https://forum.loopypro.com/discussion/69262/mela-7-13-build-…
